Profile a Work in Progress

Hello, I'm new here. I'm not familiar with the terms or customs here yet, but excited to swap postcards.

If you don't receive something, let me know. I usually mark items as sent when they are in my mailbox, but there may be a short delay before they are postmarked. I have started to mail things and register things mostly on Fridays.

I'm here to have fun! And not strive for perfection. If I can't send something out on time, I will try to let you know and give the same grace to someone else who also lets me know.

It's not sustainable for me to be constantly on here; I have real life problems. We will probably not get along if you think me taking breaks from the site is an issue and needs to be explained for.

I will be okay with whatever postcard you choose for me, but if you want ideas here are some in no particular order:

• Postcrossing Meetup

• Watercolors

• Anything related to my hobbies and interests

• Cards that have gold/silver foil (basically shiny, but no glitter...maybe I'm secretly a bird)

• Favorite colors: Blue, particularly the middle and darker shades, but I like all blues; Purple (darker shades), and grey

Please do not send:

• Drink powders (hot chocolate is an exception)
• Loose decorated scraps of paper used for scrapbooking or junk journaling

I write about things going on in my life, thoughts, and feelings, ranging from casual to serious. If I write something serious/personal in my card/letter to you, and you want to react to it, I kindly ask you do not post about it publicly on my profile but instead respond privately (via message or snail mail).

Hobbies and Interests: writing (fiction, both original and fanfiction of a variety of genres), learning languages (Japanese, German, Hindi*), sudoku, astrology, tarot, lexicography, linguistics, math, engineering, research, stationery, video games (roguelikes, strategy, RPG, visual novels and otome games), escape rooms, guinea pigs, and dogs

Languages I know to any degree: English, Hindi, German, Japanese, Spanish (I took this in high school and am no longer studying, but still remember pieces of)

*If you know any declining or endangered languages (basically any language that has a small amount of speakers) I would love to learn about it in your card.

I roam between postcards, Tarot cards, and Vedic astrology stars. The Vedic bits are part of my Indian culture.

I used to enjoy reading but have been dealing with burnout for a long time. Frieren broke that cycle but the healing continues.

Random fact: I collect keychains, particularly a subset of my collection are souvenir ones that swivel about an axis.

Favorite TV Shows: Parks and Recreation, Psych

Other Shows I've enjoyed: Young Sheldon, Sherlock (BBC), Fairly Legal, Leverage, Umbrella Academy, Big Bang Theory. If you have recommendations I am all ears.

I am open to penpals.
